AITA for eating my coworker's subway?

Oops, wrong sub!

Why This Joke Works

"Wrong sub" means both the wrong subreddit (AITA is a Reddit forum) and the wrong Subway sandwich. The Reddit post format confesses to eating someone's Subway, then "wrong sub" admits it was posted to the wrong forum while also being the actual crime.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Set it up as reading a Reddit post — or just post it online where it belongs. In person, set up the Reddit framing before delivering "Oops, wrong sub!" with maximum sheepishness.

Perfect for:

•With Reddit users who frequent AITA and will immediately get it
•At a workplace lunch break when someone's food has gone missing
•When someone steals food from the office fridge and it needs to be addressed humorously

💡 Did You Know?

Studies show that "dad jokes" as a term surged in popularity after 2015, though fathers have been telling groan-worthy puns since at least ancient Rome. The format — short setup, obvious punchline — is designed to maximize eye rolls per word.
